The release plans for the DLC Kameo Fighters in Mortal Kombat 11, other than Tremor dropping in November, have not been revealed. However, Ferra, Janet Cage, Khameleon, and Mavado are expected to be added to the game at some point in the future. It is unclear when exactly they will be introduced, as they may be paired with other DLC characters similar to Tremor and Omni-Man.
There are rumors suggesting that there will be additional DLC for Mortal Kombat 11 beyond what is included in Kombat Pack 1. Although no official announcements have been made, leaks have surfaced claiming to reveal the lineup for Kombat Pack 2. Fans should approach this information cautiously, as previous leaks for Mortal Kombat have been proven to be inaccurate. However, if these leaks are legitimate, players can anticipate the inclusion of Deathstroke, Doomslayer, Harley Quinn, Kano, Noob Saibot, and Sareena as playable fighters. Bo' Rai Cho, Drahmin, Hsu Hao, Moloch, and Rain would become Kameo Fighters. In the meantime, fans can focus on Kombat Pack 1 and the DLC characters that have already been officially confirmed.
Mortal Kombat 1 is out now for PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X.
